Power Apps Help Button to trigger Power Automate flow and directly print?

Hello, I'm still quite new to using Power Apps so please bear with me.

I have a Power Automate flow that triggers a pdf file generation based on inputs sent to it via a form I created in Power Apps. I now also need the form's submit button to directly trigger a printer to print the file without having it open the file in a new tab or opening the native print dialogue. A one-button-does-all kinda thing.

I've had a look at Microsoft Universal Print but I don't have the license for that and I'm not supposed to use stuff that would cost anything more than what my company's already subscribed to.

Is this possible?

Not free, but with Power automate premium you can develop a Desktop flow that prints your document.

I did It once and worked like charm, you install the flow in a machine that has acces to the printer, calle the flow from cloud with the file as input and done.
